Hurricane Matthew Update- Rebuilding Homes in Belot

One more updated list.....There are only three homes and the church administration building that still needs sponsors. Please prayerfully consider supporting the reconstruction of these homes. Please also consider donating 1/2 or 1/3 or 1/4 of the cost. We can then just seek the additional. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated!!

PS. The list of homes and sponsors is listed below :)


1. Oramiz Sainte

Oramiz Sainte who has one boy and four girls. Cost estimate for repairs: $1,000. - Still in need of a sponsor. 




2. Rosemarie Saraphin

Rosemarie Serpahin has two boys and one girl. Cost estimate is: $2,000.00 for supplies. The home is completely destroyed. This is one of our first priorities. She is a leader in the church and is in desperate circumstances for her family. -Still in need of a sponsor for $1600 ($400 has been sponsored by McPhetridge family). Thank you! We have another group of youth from Colorado selling applesauce that is hoping to raise $200 this weekend. Praise God. Please keep this family and fundraising in prayer! The house is completely down, so there is more urgency for this particular family.

Unfortunately, the situation in Nouvelle Terrain is even worse. I have been trying since last night to upload the pictures, but it is a slow process. But please, please keep the whole village in prayer. It is simply heartbreaking! We are also still working on figuring out cost estimates since the material is different (mostly mud and sticks) and the access is so limited. You cannot even ride a motorcyle there and a donkey would even be challenging. We will have to figure out what can be transported in a and what material is best to use there. There are about 15 homes, the main church, and the church near the road has also lost it's roof.

It is difficult to see so much suffering in a village that was already suffering from the effects of poverty (mostly malnutrition, dehydration, and lack of medical care). BUT...we know God is with us through pain and suffering. We also know our God is an awesome God and can miraculously provide the resources needed.

Thank you for your continued prayers!!
